About this person
Born in 824 in Qazwin, Persia, Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Yazīd Ibn Mājah devoted his life to the meticulous work of hadith scholarship - gathering and authenticating the reported sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. His Sunan Ibn Mājah, completed in the ninth century, became the last entry in the Six Books, the core hadith canon that Sunni Islam relies upon for religious law and guidance. Where earlier compilers had set the standard, Ibn Mājah's collection added breadth, preserving traditions the other five had not included. He died in 887, his work securing a place in the infrastructure of Islamic thought that has endured for over a millennium.
